Stewart Baker writes:

I ended up testifying again on FISA reform yesterday, this time to Senate Judiciary.  While mostly repeating my past testimony, I added a critique of two recent proposals for reforming FISA:

One idea is to declassify FISA court opinions.

But they are likely to put sources and methods at greater risk.
